I have a stye

[Deleted]

GAH. The worst! Tell me your remedies.

It's on my upper eye lid.

[joenali]

Warm washcloth over your eye.

[lilafowler]

Jizz in the eye.

[Eagles]

Yes, a warm compress (washcloth is easiest) on the eye.

[vicky]

My doctor used to say put a warm teabag on your eye.

Your H needs to pee on you!

Oh no wait, that's for a jellyfish sting, isn't it?

I just pulled a hot green tea bag out of my cup and laid it on my eye. Lol it's helping.

The head of it (gag) is on my waterline - should I try to drain it? Or is that asking for trouble. The pain is a little unbearable. I want the pressure to go away - I have a body pump class at 8am ...

Don't pop it! Let a hot compress bring it to a head naturally.

Tea bag but do not try to drain it! Leave eye stuff to the professionals.

I had one last summer. My eye dr said to put a hot (I mean, don't burn yourself...but he said a little on the hot side of warm) washcloth on it and apply slight pressure for 5-10 minutes every 30 minutes to an hour until you go to sleep tonight. Even better if you can set a few alarms during the night and do it throughout the night as well. It seemed like a ridiculous amount of hot compresses, but it went away within a day or two. Tomorrow I would do it every hour or two.

[tictac]

Tea bags and hot compresses.

As tempting as it may be: do NOT try to pop it! I assure you, it won't end well.

[moonriver]

Oh yeah, fuck trying to drain it. I don't know if it's possible but you don't want it to infect or bother your eye any more than it already is.

[aussiecrush]

Coconut oil.

[Deleted]

Yeah, absolutely warm/hot compresses.  As warm as you can tolerate comfortably every hour or 2.

Me too.  I've done it.  Disclaimer: I'm not telling OP to pop it.  

[tacocat]

Put uncooked rice in a clean sock and you can microwave it throughout the day to act as a warm compress. They stay warmer longer than a washcloth.

I'm with you. It's stronger than the pull to eat donuts at the office. so, yeah. I would pop it but I don't think you should.

All the talk of tea bags is killing me. I'm not totally sure j could keep my shit together if my sweet little Doctor mentioned that to me.

[lilac05]

Don't pop it.

Just a warning, when you take the warm compress off, it'll take a minute or two for your vision to straighten out. I had one eye closed (obviously) & the other looking at a screen. When I took the compress off, I panicked for a second because my vision was so crazy!

Ooh, I forgot but I used to do this. I haven't had a stye in ages, but this definitely helped soothe.
